Continence issues can affect anyone – so why aren’t we talking about it? This World Continence Week (16–22 June 2025), we are sharing stories, resources, and information to get the conversation started.
In a special video message, much-loved Kiwi personality Jason Gunn opens up about his decades-long experience with bowel issues. Jason reminds us that it’s okay to talk about continence – and that in fact, we need to.
Jason reflects on his experience having bowel issues, which date back to his days on The Son of a Gunn Show. When it comes to continence, Jason says, “I know a lot of us don’t feel comfortable talking about that sort of stuff – but there lies the problem: A lot of us need to get more comfortable talking about that sort of stuff.”
Jason reminds us that “it’s okay to talk about it. and there’s people to talk about it with…It’s okay to share your story with other people.”
Everyone should be talking about continence...so let's just talk about it – whether it be a casual discussion or something more formal, so long as you throw all taboo and judgement away! Remember that even speaking with just one other person is a great start, and that we'd love to hear more about it!
